The Thypoch 24-50mm F2.8 is a zoom offering an unusual range while keeping a fast aperture of F2.8. It is lighter and much less expensive than a Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art

It is quite compact and light and will perfectly fit a A7C , it does not extend while zooming which make it perfect for a gimbal

Build quality is quite good and ergonomics are ok with a Fn button and a AF/MF switch

In MF there is a focusing shift when closing the aperture

Le Thypoch 24-50mm F2.8 G est un zoom qui offre un plage focale inhabituelle tout en offrant une grande ouverture de F2.8. Il est plus compact léger et moins cher que le Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN II Art

2.1 Sharpness / Piqué

A table displaying image sharpness ratings for various apertures (F-stops) and focal lengths (24, 35, 50 mm). Ratings are categorized as Excellent, Very Good, Good, Average, and Outstanding for center and corner sharpness.
  • The lens sharpness is excellent at 24mm in the centre at F2.8 and very good at all focal length. At F4 excellent in the centre at all focal length
  • Corners are much worse only becoming very good at F5.6

An average performance , if you only do portrait it will be very good thanks to the centre sharpness otherwise it is quite poor

  • Le piqué est excellent à F2.8 au centre à 24mm et très bon aux autre focales. A partir de F4 excellence au centre à toutes les focales
  • Les coins sont beaucoup moins bon et il faut attendre F5.6 pour atteindre le grade très bon

Une performance moyenne. En portrait il sera très bon au centre mais sinon le piqué est assez inconsistant !

  • Les coins étant mauvais à F2.8 , il faudra fermer à F5.6 pour avoir une consistance sur tout le champ

3 Video

  • very good results in term of sharpness and color rendition in video, very nice rendering for landscape, architecture, street or portraits.
  • AF works correctly but sometimes has issues
  • Ergonomics are ok
  • Small but visible focus breathing
  • Small and light so good on gimbal and zoom does not extend so good for gimbal

  • Très bon résultats en vidéo en terme de piqué , rendu des couleurs. Très beau rendu en architecture, paysage, rue, portraits.
  • L’AF est correct mais parfois capricieux
  • L’ergonomie est ok
  • Focus breathing faible
  • Petit et compact donc peut convenir sur une gimbal avec en plus zoom à longueur constante

  • Parmi les optique avec une plage focale limités , le Sony 28-60 F4-5.6 est bien entendu le plus léger et le plus compact. Entre le Sony 24-50, et le Samyang 24-60 c’est très proche et 30-40% plus léger que les 24-70mm F2.8 donc a vous de voir la plage focale qui vous convient le mieux
  • Le Sony 24-50 est le plus compact avec le Thypoch et parmi les plus léger. Le Sony est celui avec la meilleure ergonomie (au niveau du 24-70 GMII)
  • L’AF du Sony est meilleur que celui de ses concurrents

4.5 Distortion / CA / Vignetting /Flare

  • The Samyang 24-60 is the worst one for distortion and vignetting, followed by the Sony 24-50, the Thypoch is the best
  • The level of CA and resistance to flare is the best one on the Sony 24-50. The Thypoch suffers from more visible CA

4.6 Video

The Sony 24-50mm F2.8 is the best one in video with the best ergonomics (clickless aperture ring) focus breathing compensation. Only the fact its zoom is not constant make it less suited than eg the Thypoch on a gimbal

En vidéo le Sony 24-50mm F2.8 est le meilleur avec une excellente ergonomie (bague d’ouverture sans clics) et la compensation du focus breathing. Seul le fait que sont zoom s’allonge lez rendre moins pratique sur gimbal que le Thypoch à longueur constante

4.7 Conclusion

Globally the Sony 24-50mm F2.8 is close to the perfect compact little F2.8 zoom but at a hefty price (1300 euros).

The Thypoch and the Samyang are 2 times cheaper and have similar sharpness performances (with issues in the corners at f2.8). In term of color rendering and bokeh the Thypoch is better

Globalement le Sony 24-50mm F2.8 est le parfait petit zoom F2.8 mais son prix est très élevé (1300 euros)

Pour la moitié du prix on a les Thypoch et Samyang qui ont un piqué similaire avec des coins problématiques. Point de vue rendu des couleurs et bokeh le Thypoch est supérieur

6 Conclusion (English)

The Thypoch 24-50mm F2.8 G (649$) is a nice compact and light lens . For a very first lens with AF , Thypoch is delivering a very interesting lens. Its AF is good , it has excellent sharpness in the centre and a very nice bokeh and color rendering. Distortion and vignetting are well managed and resistance to flare is good.

Build quality and ergonomics are good. One of the key advantage for video is the constant size which make it easy to balance on a gimbal

The main weaknesses is the corners sharpness, some focus shift when using MF
